Abstract: | The article deals with charitable activities of Kyiv eparchy monasteries and convents during the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th cen-tury. It shows that charitable activities of the Orthodox church reached its peak in the post-reform period. The charitable activities within the specified time frame lay in the provision of schools, hospitals, orphanages, almshouses, and hotels for the poor and pilgrims. Kyiv eparchy monasteries and convents a) distrib-uted alms, organized free lunches, provided material and medical assistance,b) handled education issues by establishing parish schools, c) supported alms-houses by aiding sick people, lonely elderly people, people with special needs, and the mentally ill. At the beginning of World War I, Kyiv eparchy monaster-ies and convents became actively involved in the provision of assistance to the population, as well as the establishment and maintenance of shelters for children (orphans) of fallen soldiers. Such children were provided with proper care and timely medical assistance. Charitable institutions at the premises of Kyiv eparchy monasteries and convents operated at the expense of funds received from their economic activities, as well as donations from private individuals. Kyiv eparchy monasteries and convents comprised the greatest number of hospitals and alms-houses of all those operating in the territory of the then Kyiv Governorate. |
